I was so busy catching up on movies I had to limit my tv shows for a bit. Happy to now turn back to a few things I was wrapping up. Starting with Feud: Capote vs The Swans (FX/Hulu) which overall I was meh about, a little fun at first to revisit that era and peeps but not enough of the right notes and seemed to drag on.
- Dead Hot (Tubi) Series Premiere, Wednesday 3/27 – I’m not really sure what to do about Tubi shows, it’s apparently a free network, do I start checking these out? This is a mystery/thriller about besties where something from their past comes back to haunt them.
- The Baxters (Am) Series Premiere, Thursday 3/18 – Roma Downey helms this ‘faith-based’ family journey, based on a book series, pass.
- We Were the Lucky Ones (Hulu) Series Premiere, Thursday 3/28 – Based on a novel inspired by the true story of one Jewish family separated at the start of WWII, I might need a break from the tragedies of war.
- A Gentleman in Moscow (Show) Series Premiere, Friday 3/291, 9pm – I loved Amor Towles’s Rules of Civility but hadn’t gotten to this one, Ewan McGregor stars a what one assumes is a gentleman holed up in a Russian hotel and not allowed to leave, I don’t get Showtime at the moment so maybe I try a quick book read first.
- Renegade Nell (Dis+) Series Premiere, Friday 3/29 – A young woman framed for murder becomes a notorious outlaw in 18th-century England, wouldn’t be my first Disney watch.
- Parish (AMC) Series Premiere, Sunday 3/31, 9pm – Giancarlo Esposito stars as a man whose life is destroyed and he goes back to his wheelman roots, Esposito is always good I’ll check this out.
- Sight Unseen (CW) Series Premiere, Wednesday 4/3, 9pm – A cop who goes clinically blind keeps solving crimes with the help of an agoraphobic remote helper, I feel like the CW already had a blind person solving crimes show, I’ll watch at least one so I can feel good about my disdain.
- Ripley (Net) Series Premiere, Thursday 4/4 – A grifter tries to build a life in the world of wealth and privilege after being sent to Italy to try and bring a rich guy’s son home, I do enjoy a grifter and it’s got Andrew Scott and Dakota Fanning so pending reviews.
- Sugar (App+) Series Premiere, Friday 4/5 – Colin Farrell stars as a PI trying to get to the bottom of a disappearance, I’m currently without Apple so I’ll wait for the reviews.
- Mary & George (Starz) Series Premiere, Friday 4/5, 9pm – Mother and son one of whom seduces King James I, I’m not that into the historical stuff but with Julianne Moore, though Starz isn’t high on my list.
- Mr Bates vs the Post Office (PBS) Series Premiere, Sunday 4/7, 9pm – A David vs Goliath story of British postal managers accused of stealing when money started disappearing.
